tv   Your World With Neil Cavuto  FOX News  May 9, 2014 1:00pm-2:01pm PDT

1:00 pm
fox news desk breaks in. hope you have a great weekend. and to you moms out there, happy mother's day. "your world with neil cavuto" is coming up next. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. republicans may be big on it, but when it comes to this benghazi investigation, count democrats out of it. now to the rep who is ready to rip. >> when i was leading troops in iraq in 2006, men and women who were being shot at and blown up by al qaeda, where was the outrage that they fund raised endlessly on the iraq war? where was the outrage that they viciously attacked our commanders. where was the outrage when they said soldiers were war criminals? where was the outrage when they said the war was lost? where was the outrage when they said only high school dropouts joined the army?
1:01 pm
forgive me if i don't join my democratic colleagues in theiring in their outrage. four americans lost their lives that night. they deserve justice. the american people deserve the truth. one other lesson i learned in the army is we leave no man behind and we will not leave these four men behind. >> well, in a first on fox, arkansas republican congressman on what he calls the democrats' double standard. congressman, wow. that certainly got a lot of folks' attention on boat sides. what have you heard from democrats? >> well, neil, i can tell you a lot of my democratic colleagues didn't like me calling out their hypocrisy, but having sat on the floor and listening to the debate, they're politicizing the matter. it shouldn't be a partisan matter. republicans have participated in similar committees in the past. democrats should be participating fully on this committee. rather, they went to the house floor and were attacking
1:02 pm
republicans for turning this into a political skeptical. i remember what it was like in 2006 when i was patrolling with my men in baghdad, and there were people making money off the iraq war, who were saying mean stuff about soldiers and our leaders and no democrats were calling them out at the time for calling it a political matter. >> you know, congressman, many are saying the same, some in your party who have a double standard on this very issue who at the time when democrats were criticized iraq war intelligence weren't saying much, but now they're making a big issue of it. is it fair to say some republicans are being just as rip critical? >> neil, it's fair to always make the conduct of our foreign policy and national security an issue for public debate. whether we have a democratic president or a repen president, but there's a way to do that in a respectful manner and point out the failures or perceived failures of the president without going to the house floor and condemning your colleagues
1:03 pm
for it. >> what would happen if democ t democrats sat out on this all together. a special committee is assigned to look into this, and not a single democrat sits on it. doesn't that doom its findings, whatever they are? >> neil, i think that would be a very regrettable decision by the democrats and i know a lot of rank and file democrats don't want to investigate benghazi, but if they did, i imagine trey gowdy and frankly most of the answers are going to come from documents at the administration, especially that the white house and state department have been withholding, and documents tell the truth. republicans and democrats can't disagree once the documents are available. we learned last week that the white house and state department continue to withhold documents. i hope they participate in the committee and we get the truth in a quick and nonpartisan manner. >> you raise valid points, but this whole committee comes back
1:04 pm
to democrats saying it's a waste of time. i want you to listen to just what some of them have said. >> diversion subterfuge. benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. why aren't we talking ability something else? >> i don't think democratic republicans are going to sleep over benghazi, and i think they're concerned about the economy and jobs and immigration. >> they're politicizing this process for no gain for anyone, certainly not the families of the victims. >> the fact is this is a stunt. this is a political stunt. >> you're saying, congressman, the way they're reacting is a political stunt, right? >> yes, neil, they're trying to distract attention away from a very serious question we have like why wasn't there greater security in benghazi given the threat environment. what was happening during the attacks, and most importantly, why was there an immediate cover-up in the aftermath that continues to this day.
1:05 pm
arkansasens and most americans care when four americans are murdered by an al qaeda affiliate, and we need to get to the bottom of the circumstances, and most rank and file democrats agree, not withstanding what people like nancy pelosi might say. >> congressman, if they find those terrorists who did this, who killed these four americans, would you then be satisfied? >> well, that's the first step to getting justice for the four murdered americans and their families, but we also have to learn what failures led to the development on the night of september 11th and the cover-ups afterwards so we can avoid similar problems in the future. >> we don't know so much about who knee what and when, but we know the day after the attacks, the president went to a campaign fund-raising event in las vegas. we know that was the same time he was criticizing then presidential candidate mitt
1:06 pm
romney for making political hay out of this whole incident. at the very least, it didn't look good. i'm wondering your view on this sort of thing when an american diplomat dies abroad, do you think there should be a moratorium on political activity and certainly to this day, political fund-raising? >> i'm less concerned about what the president did the day after the attacks, once the situation was stabilized and what he did the night of the attacks. we learn eed for instance, last week, that he wasn't in the situation room. i learned in the army that one critical element of leadership is overseeing your orders. the president wasn't in the situation room. how did he know if his orders were being executed. how did he know they were delivering all the means to secure the scene in benghazi? i think that's a fail yir of leadership and we need answers to why that was the case. >> quickly, on republicans who might try to fund raise off this, your thoughts?
1:07 pm
>> neil, i won't do that, but every republican and democrat alike has to determine how they're going to conduct their campaign and how they're going to approach the matter. i think it's a serious matter that called for a nonpartisan investigation so we can get to the bottom of the truth. >> you're a gentleman and you're not going to rip your own colleagues, but you're also a war hero, and you're also seeing how some on both sides are politicizing this, republicans, too. do you find that offensive to fund raise off this either way? >> neil, first off, let me correct you on something. i'm not a war hero. i did my duty like hundreds of thousands of americans did their duty. the people who are heroes are the people who laid down their lives in places like iraq and afghanistan or like benghazi. i don't consider myself a war hero. again, i can only control my campaign and the way i conduct myself in office, and that's what i plan to do. >> i'm going to be obnoxious. you put your life on the line. to me, that makes you a hero. you're modest, i'm not.
1:08 pm
i'll ask you again, republicans and democrats are just as offensive trying to capitalize on this by fund-raising off this. you personally said you wouldn't do that, but what are saying about those who do? >> neil, that's a decision they all make for themselves. again, my particular complaints yesterday with my democratic cle colleagues was the hypocrisy for calling republicans for campaigning on it. >> if he's not going under, why does it appear to me that vladimir putin is more like showing off? why rudy says it's time to wipe the smirk off this guy's face. america's mayor, next. announcer: where can an investor

1:11 pm
like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. to russia where vladimir
1:12 pm
putin is flexing his military mite. celebrating victory day, that marks the day soviets destreeted nazi germany, and putin is putting on quite a show, even putting on a victory lap. he's not backing down. this is a world showcase. rudy giuliani said it's time for the allies to step up. they're not doing that, though. what's going on? >> putin is pushing the envelope as much as possible. just like, you know, like a child. and they don't stop until you really show some firmness and stop them. and i think he's probing. he's testing. i mean, probably the thing that concerns me the most is what's going on in latvia where you now have these pro-russian bands or gangs or whatever the heck you want to call them beginning to create protests in latvia. that gets to be very dangerous because latvia is a nato country, and we have a solemn obligation to defend them as though we were attacked. >> do you think he wants all the
1:13 pm
old republics back? >> anybody's guess, right? i think for certain, he wants an undue amount of influence over them so they're basically in russia's orbit. and that the west not interfere too much there. if the west wants to interfere there, they have to do it through him. so i'm not sure he wants to put together a soviet socialist republic, but i think he wants a russian steer of influence. in crimea, he went beyond that. he has taken crimea. that was an invasion. >> yeah, you notice no one talks about it anymore. they just moved on to, let's hope he doesn't take the rest of ukraine. >> that was a conquest. >> right. >> i think the administration and the european union and angela merkel, all of their insdagz, all of their not sure what kind of sanctions and are there going to be more sanctions? how about deploying 20,000 or 30,000 troops to nato just to
1:14 pm
bolsternato? basically, trying to put a line there and say, look, we're going to try to stop you in the ukraine. but if you have any idea of touching a nato country, you better be very careful because that solemn obligation is going to be carried out. the president is going to have to do something about saying, this isn't the same as when i said there was a red line in syria. this time, i really mean it. at the core of this is a lot of that. the president -- >> you think if he hadn't made the red line comment, at least in recent years, doomed him? then, whether it's putin or any other, they read into that. >> we predicted it when he said, i remember being on your show talking about it and saying this is a tremendously damaging thing for a president to do. maybe we should have gotten involved in syria. maybe we shouldn't have gotten involved in syria. but once the president of the united states set a red line, we had to get involved, otherwise it's going to hurt ush with russia, china, iran.
1:15 pm
china is pushing, all right? they're pushing to get back islands they were satisfied to leave alone two, three, four, five years ago. iran is making it clear they're going to have nuclear power no matter what. they give us this phony thing, peaceful use of nuclear power, but for five or six years, we were trying to stop them from getting any nuclear power. because they can't be trusted. >> what happens if the republican message is you have to get tough, yet you can see the polls that say americans are in the mood to disengage from the rest of the world. they're tired of these conflicts? how does a republican address that? >> as a leader. sometimes the american people have to be told things they don't want to hear. the americans had to be told they had to engage in the second world war. we didn't want to. if we had engaged earlier, we probably would have lost fewer people. >> they don't equate ukraine with that. they don't equate what might
1:16 pm
happen in lot vatvilatvia. >> we shouldn't go to war over ukraine. we don't have an obligation to do, but we're get pairleerilsly close. my advice would be reagan's advice. build up your strength. >> which is what they did in colombia, right? you're back from colombia, they have cracked down on rebels and terrorist organizations and it paid off. >> coloom bea is a miracle. in the '70s when i was an attorney, i know them forever. nobody would have believed this could happen, when they killed the farc, killed 13 supreme court justices, went into the supreme court of colombia and wiped them out, nobody thought they could crack down. >> still strong. a lot of people thought they would slow down. >> they made a political commitment they were going to destroy them. santos happens to be the defense minister that under uribe
1:17 pm
invaded ecuador in order to take away their safe haven. >> you used to vacation there. >> he did what the country needed. >> could i switch gears? the president is now on a soda campaign, the big gulp soda campaign, the horse and buggy thing. i don't know, i come to work every day. we have potholes the size of beirut, and crime is increasing again in times square. you stopped that. what do you think? >> i think the budget he put out is a disaster waiting to happen. $73 billion. when i left office, i think it was $40 billion. >> then again, you were chief. >> you know, but what is that going to mean? >> he said no tax increases. >> there has to be. the city has a legal obligation to balance its budget. it can't go print money. >> look at the big thing, the
1:18 pm
horse and buggy thing. what do you think of that? he's going to get them off the thing. >> i think the city council is not going to do that. they have picked up the other side of it. these are good people. these horses are treated extremely well. you know why they're treated extremely well? it's a livelihood for these people, they don't eat at night if they don't make money that day. they take care of the horses. >> i think what changed it is when you came out against what he was doing and liam neeson did. >> i went to study it. i went there, spent several days, watched them, watched how they took care of the horses, i talked to a lot of people, came to the conclusion they're taking care of the horses, this is something people love and enjoy. and this is something that people's livelihoods are based on. cars, what about global warming? >> or electric vehicles. they're so quiet, deaf people wouldn't hear them. >> or electricity, when you
1:19 pm
produce it, contributes to global warming. >> we don't have comments for that, mayor. always good seeing you. rudy giuliani. >> have a good weekend. >> one of the country's greatest things, i was there on 9/11, right guy at the right time. president obama talking energy efficiency. pushing executive action on solar, check. doing all this at a walmart. what?

1:23 pm
over the next decade. and knocking this union worker for a loop. philip dunn is typical of many union critics who say walmart isn't union friendly or worker friendly or to this point, white house friendly, yet the president showed up there. what do you make of it? >> i'm not sure what word to use. tone deaf, insensitive, maybe just shoddy staff work. take your pick. >> i'm going to pick you down as slightly against this particular venue. now, obviously, you know what inspired his visit, was the walmart saying it's going to double up on energy efficiency, solar, green -- you nade it. on that basis, do you think he has a case? >> no. first of all, that's in great dispute. i'm not a climate change expert, but i know that people contest that. look, if you wanted to announce something about community involvement agenda, would you
1:24 pm
visit with donald sterling right now and do it? it's stupid staff work. why do you want your announcement overshadows. there's very little companies in the country that are as hostile to unions, having a right to vote, and many earn so low that they need public assistance. why go there? >> we can argue back and forth whether walmart helps people or not. we could get into that, but i prefer to step back from this for the time being and think whether the president has sort of landed his allegiance more to environmentalists than he has to unions and that the latest delay
1:25 pm
in keystone might be an example of that, that he has now made it that with the environmentalists in hope that you uian guys won't be too ticked off. what do you think? >> it's a very astute bit of analysis, neil. he's worried deeply about how environmentalists will react to everything he does. i think he takes labor for granted. as frankly do many democratic politicians. for that, i somewhat fault labor, because what i have argued in my book and whenever i speak is that labor for far too long simply been a reliable ally to democrats, every political season. what they do is they serve as a logistical troops to elect democrats. >> what do you do in response to that, phil? if he's taking you for granted, i can't see a guy like you running to a republican -- maybe, but what do you do? pick an alternative or sit out elections or don't get aggressively involved? >> you use elections, when the electorate is tuned to what folks are saying, you use those to get your message out. talk about the fact that 15 workers a day are killed on the job. talk about how it's harder in this country to form a union than many industrial democracies in the world. talk about the shrinking middle class and the growing gulf
1:26 pm
between the haves and have nots in the country and how it's related to the decline of labor. so you get your agenda out there so people understand why labor matters. right now, all labor does is help elect democrats in hopes of gaining access to the white house and congress, and it's just not working. >> interesting. phil, always a pleasure having you on. thank you very much. >> a pleasure. in the meantime,ch time do you get for lunch? warehouse workers at amazon get half an hour, and they say it's not long enough, and now they're suing. do they have a case? or are they out to lunch? we'll debate it tonight on fbn. meanwhile, feeling down about your love life? sometimes a little barry white can do the trick. but if that fails, well, there is alan simpson. stick with innovation.

1:31 pm
you have something you want me to counsel you about or something? anything i can do here. >> yes, dr. ruth, i do. how did this start with you? how did this start with you offering love advice here? was it just, did someone bring it up out of the blue or what happened? >> the nuttiest thing you can imagine. a guy wrote me i never heard of and said would i write a let toor a young woman in new york who was a reporter and a journalist with npr, and just say, would she please come to the ball in cody, wyoming, at the buffalo bills center of the west. i said to my wife, i'm not going to do that. she said, what have you got to lose? so i called this gal, and i said, you know, here i am. your boyfriend, who you're a little estranged from, has written me to ask if you would come to the cody ball. he would love to have you here. we'll all dance around. i said, dan, i won't do it.
1:32 pm
ann said, do it. i did it, and i talked to the young lady, anna sail. wonderful person, and at the end, my wife said to her, you know, just listen and don't let your pride get in the way. so after 60 years of marriage and doing 1500 divorces in my practice of law in cody, wyoming, i'm not the master, but i did give her all the counseling you could imagine. >> love connection sequel was born.
1:33 pm
i love what you said, on intimacy, talking about sex. you said, when you talk about sex, you think there's a couple horny people. that's not the point. it's called intimacy, scratch my back, give me a hug, just a hug. very common sense stuff. >> yeah, that's really true. i mean, people, it's like a red light over in the corner. if you have intimacy, which is not the big s, then you think that. that's not necessarily the case. the real issue is warmth, a hug, you know, a kick in the leg, in the sack, and you know, i love you. that's not a bad thing to do. >> but you get better. you went on to say on relationships, the secret is you both try to control each other, and you both fail. but it's critical you fail. why do you say that? >> well, that's so important because you really try to control each other, and you think the other one doesn't know it. and so you become very cunning and manipulative. you'll say, do you know so-and-so does this? meaning you, you oaf, but i'm throwing it over to a third party. and it becomes -- it's destructive. finally, one will say to the other, you're not my authority. i didn't marry you to tell me what to do. we have different time schedules. we're different people. i love you, but you're not controlling me. and the other one says, you're
1:34 pm
not controlling me, and you can get along a long time in a marriage that way. >> a lot of people know you for your fights in washington and raising hackles with the aarp crowd and all that, but one of the things that hit me most in a lot of this advice, and so common sense. listen more, talk less. be kinder first. when you have been married for 60 years, what's the secret to that? >> well, listening and never walking out the door. when you have those arguments and one of them starts for the door, you say, just a sec. and never lift a hand, never even in the back of your mind lift a hand. but just say to the other one, don't leave this room. i'm not -- you need to hear me out. and that's a critical thing. and then, be tender to each other. i mean, i didn't mean a whack in the fanny like that. i meant, just like that. >> so i got that one wrong.
1:35 pm
do not whack in the fanny. do not -- not whack. >> no. light pat. >> all right, but you also, in good humor, touched on something i think is very true. a lot of couples when they have their first fight or disagreement, it's over. they're not going to do it. i think this was something that was born of the great generation that fights didn't mean the end of marriages. today, we seem to want to cut loose at the first sign of trouble. so there are a lot of young couples today dealing with a lot of pressure, bills, this debt that was a big concern and is a big concern of yours. how do you counsel them to get through it and not let it overwhelm them? >> well, for one thing, i met a couple the other day, they said they had been married for 30 or 40 years. she said, henry and i have never had an argument. i said, well, one of you is terribly diminished. you can't possibly go through life, you can't possibly go through life like that. and you know that.
1:36 pm
and you know, there have been times when one of the kids -- we have three beautiful kids, one is knocking on the door, they're having an argument, and they say are you going to get a divorce? i say, no, but get out of here. you were fighting with your brother this morning, doing the same thing. get out, hit it, you know? >> i like that. senator, i tell you, a lot of great pearls of wisdom here. dr. ruth ever looks shaky in her whole foundation here, i don't know. there could be a new career for you. >> well, don't forget, masters johnson divorce. >> i'm not going there. you keep pushing it. i wasn't going there. you were. >> i tell you, you should see some of the e-mails i get. you old -- you know, it's -- because they think anyone 82 should have rolled up their socks and hit the sack. >> senator, it is a delight and a privilege. i don't care whether you're on
